The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 178 - Fate Of A Slut

Seeing how gloomy Tracey was made Keira worried. Gian even let her be on her own after finding her. Everyone thought that everything was fine. But it's not. Keira knew what a depressed woman looked like. Although she was surrounded by her friends, she still cared about Tracey. She doesn't want her to be alone or out of place on this little vacation. Tracey smiled at Alessandro's friends and she knew them too.

"Dinner everyone!" Karmina called. The two mothers prepared dinner for everyone together with their family chef. Everyone takes their seats on the long big dining table. Instead of chairs, the seats were made of wood as a bench.

They were busy eating. But Keira noticed that Tracey wasn't even eating well. Everyone was busy chatting and few happy moments of their own and Tracey were completely out of place. Although her sister doesn't talk much and doesn't care if she's out of place, she's worried about Tracey. She even ate less and didn't eat many different delicious foods.

After that, everyone went to the balcony to enjoy cheese, fruits, and wines. Everyone was chatting a lot but seeing Tracey away from them, drinking wine on her own made her look depressed. Keira was surrounded by people. She's a little extrovert and introvert at the same time. She excused herself and dragged her Uncle who was laughing with Harvey. She dragged him hard and pushed him on the wall away from the guests.

"Ouch!" he pulled his arm and rubbed his arm. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What did you do to Tracey?!"

"What?" He frowned. "I didn't do anything to her~~" Ian felt confused and surprised by Keira's accusation as he looked completely puzzled.

"Really? Did you force her to sex?"

Ian froze, stared at her, and thought deeply. He forced her back in the cave and back in their cabin.

"Uh, ~~"

"Fuck you!" She punched his chest. "How could you do that to that girl?"

"Well, I was horny and so~~"

Keira swallows that big lump on her throat. She felt bad for Tracey. She felt bad that the one who would do it to Tracey is her Uncle. She punched his chest again.

"Damn that hurts!" he scolded him.

"Did you know that she suffered from depression?"

Ian rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What's the big deal? She ruined you too. It's not like she has a heart~~" That's when Keira glared at him with those fierce eyes as they started becoming red. "I'm sorry."

"I can't believe you," She shook her head, very much disappointed in him. "You don't know how she was treated like a slut by every friend she knew just because she didn't know that I was married to Alessandro. You don't know how many times she was drugged by her friends and nearly got raped. Now, you think that she deserves such a thing? No girl deserves to be treated that way. Have you ever looked into her eyes?" She scoffed. "This is why Violet hates you. You are clueless about women's feelings." She turned back from him, completely pissed. Then, she went to the balcony to peeked at Tracey who was currently with James Mondragon.

The two were talking and smiling and if only James could love Tracey, she wouldn't have to argue anymore. James Mondragon is rich, with a good family background of soldiers. He could protect Tracey but his heart already belongs to someone else.

<><><><>

Although Keira was way younger than him, he was also her Uncle. Gian realized it late. Violet indeed hates him because he's clueless. He even mentioned to her that he's drunk and he didn't know what he was doing. But the truth was, he knows exactly what he was doing and his body was controlled by his desire to fuck. They were saving it for their college. He fucked up and she left him. He was miserable and thought that he was happy and finally free. He screwed every woman he seduced.

He went to where Tracey was located but he stopped from

"You aren't fine, so I won't ask." That man, the heir of the Dragon Corporation said to Tracey.

"Yeah… it's quite weird that I am here with Keira's family after what I've done to her."

"It was forgotten. Keira is now your friend, isn't she?"

"Yes," Tracey nodded. "I have no friends at all. All of the friends that I know were only around me because I was rich. My mom was rich and so was my dad." She sighed. "Everything was going well until Dad had Margarette as one of his mistresses and had an orgy with those men, using Margarette as part of that disgusting business. I was mocked because of it and so I left…"

"I know a depressed woman when I see one," James told her. "My sister was depressed for years… she tried to kill herself in different ways. Putting herself in danger and…" He grumbled.

"I'm not depressed." She mumbled. James shook his head.

"You have been," He told her. "I know that every woman deserves to be loved and cared for. My dad was like that to my mom and so was my brother-in-law to my sister. You deserve that treatment."

"I don't," Tracey said it like a whisper.

Somehow, at that time, Gian's heart ached. It was like the way he treated Violet. Although he loved her, he didn't care much about what she felt after betraying her. Her tears made him miserable and he's using someone else's body to drown himself from the feeling of shame, embarrassment, and misery.

"Come on, if someone treated you indifferently, it only means that you don't deserve them." James patted her back.

"Thank you, for comforting me," Tracey mumbled.

"No. I failed to comfort you well." James chuckled. "It's all in the head."

Suddenly, James's phone started ringing. He patted Tracey's arm.

"I gotta answer this call though." As soon as James left to answer the call, Gian hesitated on approaching Tracey.

She put the glass on the mini table and she left the party. He knew that she didn't eat much. She must be hungry but some depressed people don't have an appetite to eat even a little. He didn't follow her, instead, he drinks more and thought that maybe it's time that he should break his hunger for sex with her.

"Hey!" Harvey tapped his back. "Well, I had concluded something. I'll give you a different assignment. I'll let Chameleon protect her."

"No." He shook his head. "I'll handle her."

"Sleeping with your subject would ruin everything, Ian," Harvey said and smacked his arm.

"Did Keira tell you about this?"

"Yeah, she does." He nodded. "Keira also set up a room for you in this house. Tracey will be protected by Leon at the moment."

"No. I'll protect her." He grumbled.

"What for?" He shrugged at him. "You messed up big. Keira hates you."

"Oh, crap!"

Tracey organized the bed and instead of sleeping on the bed, she chose to sleep on the sofa. She will just sleep off everything, but with these suicidal thoughts in her head, she doesn't know if she could sleep at all. Maybe she should buy a plot where her mom could bury her. She doesn't want anyone to stay there and shed fake tears. She hugged her plushie teddy bear that Keira bought for her when she was in France. Keira even ordered it for her with a necklace for their friendship. She was the only friend that she had now. But Keira has a lot of loyal friends.

She clutched the necklace, yawned, and closed her eyes. Just when she's about to sleep, the door opened and the smell of alcohol made her cringed. A strong arm scooped her and put her to bed and tucked her in. She frowned at him but he only stood and went to the bathroom. She tried to relax and go back to sleep. However, after a few moments, he came out and crawled on the bed, tucking his naked body under the sheet.

"Do you hate me?" He asked out of nowhere. She was silent for a while.

"No."

"Really?" he scoffed. "I know that you hate me for forcing you on sex and making you do stuff that you don't like. I am an asshole and I'm sorry for doing that to you earlier."

"I deserve it." She turned back from her and hugged the fluffy teddy bear. "I bullied your niece back then. I deserved to be treated that way."

"Don't be absurd. I was a dick and still, I am."

"Hmm,"

"And yes, I still love my ex-girlfriend. And I failed many times. I haven't even asked for her forgiveness even though it's been so long. You think that I should go to her?"

Tracey turned back to him.

"I think you should go to her, bring peace offerings… probably the stuff that she liked, and asked for her forgiveness. Don't mention the wedding to her."

"Okay," He nodded and lay down. "I tried giving her flowers to get back to her… but she slapped me with it."

Tracey giggled as she imagined how a beautiful strong woman would beat this big man.

"My nose even bled from her punching." He smiled. "Seeing her happy with the man she loved made me envy and hate the man. I was the reason why that man is suffering now.

A peek from the Charles Empire Laboratory.

Currently, the killing machine that they are planning to kill Tracey De Novo was breaking things and had killed two guards in a row. Instead of Wendy being disappointed. She was completely mesmerized by how the man could care for another in a snap with his bare hands.

"He's not ready, my dear," Klaus said while watching Victor from the monitor.

"I like him, grandpa."

"We are slowly taming him. And I am afraid that the other weapon is hard to tame." The weapon that he mentioned was Victor's sister. "I'll send someone to kill her. We need a better plan."
